Failed to connect to Connection Server

Why is it that when I try to access the connection server via IP, it says :failed to connect to connection server"but if FQDN of the server will be used; it connects fine.

Then another setup on another VLAN is observed and IP HTML access is successful.

And why does if connecting to admin window via IP address, a white box appears but is not encountered if FQDN is used.

Thanks!

Could you check if their is any certificate issue? Are you using default certificates or custom certificates?

Set the setting on a View Client "Preferences -> Security -> Do not verify server identity certificates" to test if this is a certificate issue.

You should use a FQDN name instead of IP address.

You can try to add a FQDN name to the hosts file if needed.
